You know those times when you stub a toe, or you've had a high anxiety day and just nothing seems to go right, or when you slice your finger with a kitchen knife, and the only way to express yourself is with at least one foul language word? You need something that allows you to vent out and screaming out "fluffy pink tissue!" just doesn't get it done. When that bowling ball lands on your foot, you have to let out an agonizing string of obscenities that would embarrass even the roughest of sailors.
This brings me to the best of those meaningful words, fuck. It has so many great uses. But think of it's origins. Sure, dictionaries will tell you that it comes from German and Latin backgrounds, but you know someone somewhere uttered this word long before the 16th Century.
Think about it. If you had just constructed a building back in the 12th Century and then stepped back and noticed this...
You might have uttered something that sounded like "FUCK!"
Or let's go even further back, if you believe that human life was procreated starting with Adam and Eve, imagine what Eve thought when she first learned she was pregnant, then what she went through giving birth. With no one to teach them about childbirth, they both must have been screaming "What the FUCK!!!!"
Even used as an adjective, as in, "you fucking ____," it adds greater emphasis. Other forms, such as "I'm so fucked" or "you little mother fucker" express a sentiment that no other phrase captures quite as well.
So here's to @Destiny and her favorite word...
Just sayin...
